Partnering for growth
“ We were delighted to be recognized as a Crown Commercial Service supplier for the UK Government in April 2022 , as it supports our strategy for growth in the public sector , especially after the pandemic ,” she details . “ Since the award , we ’ ve had the opportunity to work with Supply Chain Coordination Ltd ( SSCL ) and the UK Health and Security Agency .” Over the last 25 years , Ligentia has continually crossed borders and matured alongside its customers across the globe but is now focusing on expansion within Europe . To facilitate such growth , the business acquired its Polish partner , VGL Solid Group ( VGL ) in October 2022 . “ We are currently rebranding VGL and integrating the businesses under the Ligentia brand ,” Lee explains . “ We are working at pace to help our customers unlock new value from their supply chains as a result of this integration .
“ This acquisition is a significant step in our European growth strategy , strengthening our brand visibility and service capabilities in the region ,” she goes on . “ We already have a successful , long-standing relationship with the team at VGL , as the acquisition was a natural extension of our highly successful joint venture , which we operated together for nearly ten years .”
Turning to the future , Lee proposes : “ We recognize the importance of regional expertise and experience , so we have strong aspirations to grow alongside our customers in North America , Europe , and Asia . We also plan to invest further in technology through an ambitious program of digitalization and automation . But overall ,” she concludes , “ it ’ s an exciting time for Ligentia , as we continue supporting customers to deliver smarter , innovative solutions for managing sustainable , flexible , and resilient supply chains .” ■
